If You Have To Ask, You Can't Afford It

The feds are ready to crack down on hospitals that evade the law and don't publish their prices for medical procedures, which is something they should be enforcing and which I had no idea they do in the first place. And many don't. Medical care is one thing for which you don't know the price before you have to commit to buying, and for which they can pretty much charge whatever they want, which is a real problem if insurance doesn't cover all the costs. Yes, it's another argument for universal health care, because when you're sick, and especially in emergencies, you can't comparison-shop and you're going to be gouged. (Wall Street Journal)
